Help!!! No progress yet!
Have been dialted at 3cm and effaced at 60% for 3 weeks now. No progress yet! I feel so uncomfortable down there like I'm being ripped apart. No contractions yet just the Braxton hicks. My doc said to go home walk and have lots and lots of sex....and im like oh nooo....ouchy. I'm in so much pain down there and the pressure is horrible. Any other ways to help speedy going into labor?
Half of labor is all in your mind. Relax and try not to be anxious. Anxiety produces adrenaline and that can actually slow things down. Sex is recommended because the hormone in ejaculate is oxytocin. Oxytocin softens your cervix. Orgasm causes contractions.
Walking does work, it ***** and it's painful, but it works! Take some tylenol and walk as long as you can. Good luck!
